Iowa's quad 1 wins by ken pom
#8 OSU
#13 MD
#14 Michigan
#20 TT
#23 PSU
#25 Wisconsin
#27 Rutgers
#33 @Minnesota
#43 N Cincinnati
#54 # Syracuse

that now makes 10 quad 1 wins
Illinois is @31
Minnesota is @33
both are quad 2 wins and could become quad 1 wins if the can get in the top 30. if they can beat IIIinois this weekend they could have 11 quad 1 wins and their 8th win vs top 25 team. they currently lead the DI in top 25 wins with 7.

this is why the Net dropping them makes no sense.

just the other day they had just quad 1 wins and now they have 10 quad 1 wins.

It depends on the other teams you've played. Those teams are also playing games. It's not based on your single game.

Everything is about Iowa......

 

[SNU0821]

Yeah but I'm pretty sure NCTrojan is the only one whose predictions were so bad he had to change his screen name.

Don't forget about MJ18! Although, I think we're all glad he's gone.

Quad 1 wins are determined by NET rankings. Not KenPorn.

The latter.

That was before I was here. Was that about predictions or just general stupidity?

 

[CardinalBoiler]

The lack of respect shown to the legendary Matt18Jones around here is really disappointing.

 

[SNU0821]

Definitely both.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

Haha, beat me to it by a minute.

 

[B1G_Fan]

I'll add that to your other predictions from your previous screen name.

Nice discussion.

 

[boiler1987]

Nice discussion.

Still in denial?

 

[B1G_Fan]

Still in denial?

Denial about what? If anyone is in denial it’s Purdue fans who think they still have a good shot at making the tournament.

 

[Illinois0]

It’s not much more unlikely than IU making it. Which I think is a lot less likely than IU fans seem to think, but nothing wrong with optimism

Personally, I don’t see the big ten getting more than 10 teams in. Its more likely to see 9.

IU is in with last nights win. I don’t even think the Purdue fans here would argue against IU having a significantly better chance of making the tournament than Purdue.

quad 1 wins by NET
#15 OSU
#18 MD
#21 TT
#24 Michigan
#27 Wisconsin
#30 PSU
# 47 @ Minnesota
# 51 N Cincinnati
# 66 @ Syracuse

that makes 9 quad 1 wins. 9 or 10 not much difference,

Good shot? No. Average shot? Absolutely.

No argument there. If you guys lose your next two it’ll be interesting to see what happens but I think you’re still pretty safe.

 

[SNU0821]

Good shot? No. Average shot? Absolutely.

I'd call it an uphill battle at this point.

Wins at home are only quad 1 when it’s against top 30 teams

Don't forget that you're also 2-2 in Quad 3 Games.

 

[boiler1987]

We win the next two I’ll feel pretty solid. Not a guarantee but 18 wins with our ratings is def a possibility.

 

[gowolverines8]

Georgia received an at-large bid in 2001 with a record of 16-14. That is the worst winning percentage for an at-large team in NCAA history. Purdue is currently 16-14.

The biggest difference between Purdue and the '01 UGA team, is the record for Quad 1 games. Purdue is 4-11 in those games. If I use the RPI system to delineate UGA's games into quads, then they would have had a record of 7-11 in quad 1 games.

Purdue isn't quite there yet. I think Purdue needs to win a minimum of 2 more games, ideally 2 Quad 1 matchups. If the B1G ended today, they would face Ohio State in the second round of the 7/10 game. Maryland would be waiting for the winner. PU needs to beat Rutgers and Ohio State, at the bare minimum. Wins over Rutgers, Ohio State, and Maryland would probably push Purdue over onto the safe side of the bubble.

Hard to compare net era teams to rpi era teams because the net gives a lot more leeway to predictive ratings darlings with poor records. Therefore teams like Purdue have much better chances than they used to.

 

[klize17]

Don't forget that you're also 2-2 in Quad 3 Games.

Indiana's current worst loss is to #43 in the NET. I think that is going help separate them from others. Now if IU loses against Wisconsin and then somehow loses to a terrible Nebraska team then all bets are off.

 

[SNU0821]

I think it's gonna be interesting to see what would happen if you guys get to 18 wins. Lot can be determined by the smaller conference tournaments as well to see who, if any, bids get stolen.

the committee looks more at the overall record more than they do the conference record and going by overall record these are in
MD 23-7
MSU 21-9
PSU 21-9
Illinois 20-9
OSU 20-9
Iowa 20-10
Rutgers 19-11
Indiana 19-11
Michigan 18-11


NIT
Purdue16-14
that's it as the NIT takes teams with .500 or better.

 

[jwardelt]

Pretty sure we've got 8 quad 1 wins w/ 2 home wins over NET 31 and 32.

Thanks a lot Buttgers and PeeU.

Decent chance one of those teams gets into quad 1 given they play each other Saturday. Of course, that may be at the expense of #30 Penn State.

We beat them on the road so they'll always be a Q1 for us.

Win two more-optimistic
Win three more-probably

Im not as optimistic on only winning one more. 17 wins I think we’re out barring a miracle. Agree with you on the other scenarios.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

The latter.

How about I put you back in your Badger hole for another month, and let you think it over........

You don’t have the slightest clue at what the committee is looking at this year. You don’t even know what qualifies as a quad 1 win. Just sit back and enjoy hearing Iowa called.

 

[SNU0821]

Painter going to see Kaufman play tonight. Looks like he’s going to try to get both guys. Interesting.

On Peegs Snow just said, "Purdue, for all intents and purposes, is now out on Kaufman, meaning Louisville and Xavier would be the main competition for the Hoosiers, though Kaufman is insisting he is open to more options than just the local ones."

Interesting.

Why would he want to go to B1G bottom feeders IU/PU?

Yeah painter saw Furst last night not Kaufman. My mistake on the bad info.

Hey, we are better than Northwestern and Nebraska!

Lot of Gil impostors lately.

 

[CardinalBoiler]

IU's been recruiting well from the bottom half of the league for years. Figured we'd take a page out of their book this year. And voila! A top-40 commitment.

Tell me Painter doesn't make adjustments...

 

[boilerzz]

Possible bid thievery already. #5 SDSU down 3 to Air Force in the 2nd half in what is likely a 1 bid league if SDSU wins the tournament championship.
